Lake Illawarra Acting Inspector Peter Northey said the 48-year-old answered a knock at his door around 5:30pm, where he was assaulted by an unknown man. “He then forced his way in made a number of demands before he left,” Acting Inspector Northey said. He said the alleged offender may have targeted the wrong house because he wanted cash and drugs but left with neither.
